This book begins with the inspiring story of Steve Dawson—his dramatic conversion to Catholicism as a young man and his founding of St. Paul Street Evangelization, an international apostolate that has grown to hundreds of teams in seven countries in just a few years. Also included are other moving stories of conversion and witness. The authors are ordinary Catholics who have come to love Christ so much that they now talk about Him with total strangers in public places—street corners, parks, and shopping areas. They aren't theologians, nor are they highly trained apologists with Ambrosian rhetorical skills or Dale Carnegie slickness, yet their simple missionary efforts have yielded amazing results. The book's style is readable, accessible, and conversational. It illustrates the missionary calling of all baptized Christians, including Catholics. It reveals the joy and fulfillment that come to those who humbly yet boldly share the good news of God's mercy with others.
Loved as much for his fluid fighting style as his colourful personality and brazen pre-match hype, Muhammad Ali is widely considered to be the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time. Charismatic, outspoken and unafraid to fight for his beliefs, Ali has deftly jabbed, danced and trash-talked his way into the annals of sporting history. Ali's controversial refusal to be drafted for the Vietnam War meant that his license to fight was withdrawn for three years. And yet Ali achieved all that he did while being denied the right to box at his peak. From Olympic gold medallist to cultural icon and fearless freedom fighter, Steve Dawson takes a candid, honest look at the man who, amidst racial and religious turbulence in 1960s white America, soared to his destiny as “The Greatest”.
